SPECIFICATION formingpar; of Letters Patent No. 587,724, dated August10, 1897.

Application tiled April 16, 1897.

To all whom t may concer-lt:

Beit known that I, JACOB F. GATES, a citizen of the United States ofAmerica, residing at Pittsburg, in the county of Allegheny and State ofPennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inHolders, of which the following is a specification, reference being hadtherein to the accompanying drawings.

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements inholders, and may be more particularly designated as a curlingironholder, and is adapted to be attached to the top of a lamp-chimney,gas-jet globe, or the like, and receive the curling-irons while the sameare being heated; and the invention aims to provide a holder of thisclass that will byits peculiar construction and arrangement hold theirons at the proper angle to heat the same in the portion desired and atthe same time el'ectually prevent the heat of the flame from coming incontact with the handle of the irons, thus keeping the same cool at alltimes; and to this end the invention consists in the novel construction,combination, and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter morespecifically described, and particularly pointed outin the claims, andin describing the invention in detail reference is had to the ac-Ycompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, and whereinlike letters of reference indicate similar parts throughout the severalviews, in which- Figure l is a perspective view of my improvedcurling-iron heater. Fig. 2 is a side view of the same, showing itapplied to an ordinary lamp-chimney, which is shown in dotted lines.Fig. 3 is a similar view showing the application to a gas-jet globe. Y

To put my invention into practice, I form the holder a, which receivesthe curlingirons, and consisting of a tube, together with a shield h andthe rear clamp c, of one piece of metal or other suitable material, thetube or holder being formed after the stamp has cut the sheet to theproper form. The rear holder c is formed by leaving intact with theshield b a strip d, having its end bent to form the clamp or holder c,which engages the lamp chimney or globe and supports the holder at therear end, the front end of said Serial No. 632,411. (No model.)

`tube or holder being closed, and attached to this front or forward endis a rod e, which is bent V shape in form and swiveled in a keeper fonthe holder or tube, the free ends of said rod haring hook ends g g,which engage over the edge of the globe or chimney, and thus form ahanger to support the forward end of the holder. the edge that is inclose proximity to the holder with a flange h', which serves to defiectthe heat and prevent same coming in contact with the handle. This hangerbeing longer than the support at the rear of the holder permits theforward end of the holder to incline downward toward the flame, and thusbring the forward end of the curling-irons into close proximitytherewith, and by the arrangement of the shield the heat from the flameis prevented from coming into contact with the curling-iron handles, sothat the same are retained cool and easily handled at all times.

I do not wish to be understood as limiting myself to the manner offorming the holder and the shield of one piece of metal or othersuit-able material, as this will of course depend somewhat upon the kindof material of which the holders may be manufactured, yet I have foundthis the cheapest and simplest modeA 'of forming the same, and it willof course be further understood that the hangers may be made of any formdesired to snit any particular globe or chimney and that other changesmay be made in the details of construction without departing from thegeneral spirit of my invention.

Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is-

l. In a holder of the class described, consisting of a tube, a clamp orholder, said tube and clamp or holder formed of a single piece of metalor other suitable material, a pivoted hanger secured to the tube, andadapted to engage the chimney or globe diametrically opposite to theclamp or holder,whereby said holder may be applied to chimneys or globesof dierent sizes, substantially as shown and described.

2. In a holder of the type described, a tube and shield, a clamp orholder for supporting the tube and shield at the rear, and a hanger Theshield b is provided aroundl IOO 4. A holder of the type described,consist# ing of a tube, a. shield and et holder formed of a single piece0f metal or other suitable materiel, and zt hanger attached to the tubefor supporting the one end of the same, sub- 15 stantially as shown anddescribed.
